Note: To obtain the ring of charos(a), you need only complete the first few steps of this quest.

To start the quest, go to the kitchen in Varrock Palace, and then go east and then south into a fenced garden where Queen Ellamaria is. Speak to her and she will hand over a list of the plants she needs.

Players should then get the ring of charos obtained from Creature of Fenkenstrain, head for Draynor Village, and talk to the Wise Old Man. Be careful, if you have more than one ring of charos in your inventory or bank, the others will disappear. He will tell a story about Queen Ellamaria before she was married to King Roald, as well as the origin of the ring of charos. Give the ring to the Wise Old Man, after which he will ask seven questions to test whether the player is capable for the possession of an activated ring. Note that if you answer the first six questions correctly, the seventh question can be answered in any way. The questions are below, with the correct answers in bold:

1/7: Two goblins are fighting over the colour of their armour. What do you do?

Leave them to it. Armour's not going to help - any noob could take them.

4/7: A dwarf asks you to put on a silly golden helmet so that you can be fired from a cannon into a wall. What do you do?

Refuse this crazy request blankly.

Put the helmet on the dwarf and fire him into the wall.

Put on the silly helmet and jump into the cannon.

5/7: You meet Pkmaster0036 in the wilderness who asks you who is the greatest player killer in the world. How do you answer?

Cower in fear and quickly cast teleport to Varrock.

I am, prepare to meet your doom Pkmaster0036!

You of course Pkmaster0036, no one could ever challenge your greatness!

6/7: Queen Ellamaria orders you to go on a foolish quest without any offer of reward. What do you say?

Stop ordering me about and get back behind the bar where you belong!

I'll do whatever you ask - I just love the monarchy!

Ask me nicely and I might consider it.

7/7: A Draynor bank guard asks you if you've seen any suspicious characters lately, because the bank has been robbed. What do you say?

Yes, that wise old man over there looks incredibly dodgy.

If I do I'll let you know.

No, especially not that wise old man, who doesn't look at all suspicious.

After answering the questions correctly, the Wise Old Man will enchant the ring of charos and return it to the player. The player will need to wear the activated ring (shown as "ring of charos(a)") and use the dialog with "(Charm)" to persuade most of the NPCs the queen asked to find. You can try to charm the wise old man but you will fail.

Note: Answering most of the questions correctly is enough to receive the enchantment.

Note: Players can visit the NPCs in any order. Also, note that when crops you plant for Elstan, Lyra and Kragen fully grow, you will receive a message in your chat box. The seeds for these NPCs must be planted after talking to them. Using an amulet of nature can be very helpful for this quest.

He will claim the player is wearing an "evil talisman" and demands that the player throw it into the well in Edgeville, or simply destroy it. Players should not throw away or destroy the ring before being told by Althric to do so.

Go to Edgeville and throw the ring of charos(a) in the well. You will recover it later, that's what the fishing rod is for.

Fishing back the ring of charos.

Note: It is suggested that the player should go to Edgeville and throw the ring in the local well. Otherwise, the player will have to go to Fenkenstrain's Castle and pickpocket Dr Fenkenstrain again in order to recover the ring. He is located at the top floor of the castle

With the ring thrown away or destroyed, players can go to the monastery and attempt to take the seeds again. This time, Brother Althric will be pleased and will allow the player to take the rose seeds.

If the player has thrown the ring into the well, the monk will mention a method to recover it.

Players should get their own fishing/fly fishing rod, (oily fishing rod and barbarian rod do not work) and use it with the well in Edgeville. It might take several tries, but the ring can eventually be recovered. if it is thrown into the well it is NOT possible to pickpocket a new one, it must be retrieved from the well.

Head south to the tree patch in Taverley (near the entrance gate dividing the members and free-to-play areas) and speak to Alain. He will provide a method of enhancing the plant cure's power. Do not use the "charm" option in dialogue, or he will refuse to help you.

Note: The plants take a while to grow (the white tree being the longest time), so it is recommended to do the gardening now and to get the statues while the plants are growing.

Players can talk to Ellamaria and ask about getting the statues. She will provide a trolley for the player to push or pull the statues.

When there is a statue on the trolley, the player can choose to "Push" or "Pull" the trolley, causing the trolley to move one square away from or towards the player respectively. The option "Big push" allows the trolley to move several squares away from the player.

A teleport is recommended for players to get to the statues' original places.

Walk or teleport to Lumbridge; then, walk out of the castle. Examine both statues, and use the trolley on the one described as the statue of a "king" (should be the one on the south side).

Push or pull the trolley across the bridge directly outside the castle. Once the trolley is on the other side of River Lum, the scene will immediately change to the north backyard of Varrock Palace. Push or pull the trolley to the east, and then south into the queen's garden (Note, the first statue (King) is the north east plinth).

Be careful not to get the trolley stuck or you will have to logout and log back in to reset it.

if the statue at any point gets "recaptured" (if you take too long to place it on the spot for the statue), you can get another trolley from the queen (Ellamaria) and you have to go back to Lumbridge and get statue again.

The statue should be placed on the eastern side slot against the wall. When the trolley is pushed beside the spot, use the "place" option to place the statue, and the trolley will return to the player's inventory automatically.

Walk or teleport to Falador, and use the trolley on the statue in the city square (not the statue in the park). A cutscene will appear, showing two guards, Bob and Billy at the north gate being killed by a player spoof named PKMaster0036 while the player tries to push the statue onto the trolley.

After the cutscene, the player should pull or push the trolley out of Falador as soon as possible. If the player uses too much time, the guards will discover the statue has been stolen, and the player will have to start it all over again.

Once the trolley is out of Falador, the scene will immediately change to the north backyard of Varrock Palace. Again, push or pull the trolley to the east, and then south, into Ellamaria's garden.

The statue should be placed on the central slot. When the trolley is next to the spot, use the "place" option to place the statue, and the trolley will return to the player's inventory automatically.

Note: Do NOT inspect the statue plinth while the statue is there, the statue will glitch and disappear and you will have to go back to Falador and retrieve the statue again.

Items required:ring of charos(a), farming equipment, two buckets of compost and all seeds and saplings from earlier sections. Note: There is no tool leprechaun in the garden. The nearest one is at the nearby tree patch, on the eastern side of the palace courtyard. Also, you cannot use the Bottomless compost bucket to do the required task and need two composts/supercomposts/ultracomposts in un-noted form.

A map showing where each seed should be planted.

You will not need to add compost to the allotments in the garden, nor water any of the patches. Use the rake to wipe out the weeds in all farming patches, and plant the seeds/sapling to where they should be placed. However, you will need to add compost to the orchid pots before planting them. The plants in Ellamaria's garden take 10–15 minutes to grow and cannot die. Make sure you've watered your White Tree Shoot or it won't work when you try to plant it.

After all patches are fully grown and the statues are in place, talk to Ellamaria, and she will ask the player to get King Roald. Go to King Roald, located in the south-east side of the Palace on the ground floor.

King Roald is not pleased with the garden, resulting in "Ellie" scolding him.

Touring the Garden

The track that plays during the cutscene.

Talk to him while wearing the ring of charos (a), and charm him when possible (or continue on without charming for an amusing conversation). A cutscene will play with the Queen of Varrock giving him a tour. Don't open any interfaces after the end of the cutscene or walk away from the queen, otherwise you will have to fetch the king again.

After a short cutscene, the queen will reward the player and the quest is complete. Congratulations!

The player spoof that comes and attacks the two guards while you're taking the Falador statue has the same name as the PKer that the Wise Old Man asks you about.

Since the seventh question has two correct answers, it is possible that just getting six out of seven correct is all that is needed. Upon trying, any answer to the seventh question will work so long as the previous six were answered correctly.

Despite the fact that Queen Ellamaria refers to the patches as "they have been filled with extremely fertile soil that was very expensive to import", you still use regular compost on the plant pots to plant the orchids, although supercompost is also adequate.

When Queen Ellamaria slaps King Roald at the end of the last cutscene, a health bar shows up above the King's head.

When speaking to Kragen, the main character charms him by asking, "What ails you, my friend?" This may be a reference to Pepin the Healer from Diablo 1. Then, the main character asks, "So, what can I do for you?" This may be a reference to Griswold the blacksmith from the same game series.

The white tree is a reference to the Tree of Gondor from Lord Of The Rings

After speaking to either Kragen or Lyra and planting their respective crops, if you ask for either to watch the plot they will respond "I can't believe you're asking me to do that! I asked you to grow some _____ for me, not for me to look after them for you! No, I won't look after them!".
